In this exciting 4 week course, students will have the opportunity to learn a brief history of Asian Americans in the United States. Asian American history is often forgotten or brushed over in United States history, and this course aims to introduce students to that forgotten history. Sessions are scheduled as follows:

Session 1: The first class will cover the 19th century (1800's). Topics covered will include gold mining, Chinese immigration, public school segregation, railroad workers, US-China relations, and important Supreme Court cases involving Asian Americans and citizenship.
Session 2: The second class will cover the 20th century (1900's). Topics covered will include immigration, interracial marriage, Japan-US relations, Angel Island, Pearl Harbor, and the Korean and Vietnam War.
Session 3: The third class will cover the 21st century (2000's) and contemporary Asian American history. We will focus on contemporary activism movements.
Session 4: The last class will discuss the future of Asian Americans in the United States.

Each class is designed to be interactive - Nearpod will be utilized and students will be guided through an interactive presentation that includes videos, text, drawing activities, audio, and more! This is not designed to be a lecture-style class - it is meant to guide and facilitate students' learning.
